Home switch

[grsabourin]

Hi,

I have difficulty with my x axis home switch (other axis there are working properly). For the x axis when I do a reference (Ref) the carrier move in the home direction but when it hits the home switch it is generating a limit switch error instead of seeing it is the home switch. It is generating similar error if I hit the limit switch at the other end of the x axis. I have checked the parallel port configuration and it seems correct. My x axis home switch is connected on pin 13 of the second parallel port. the X++ and X Home are set to 13 and to active low. I have also sometime similar issue with Z axis home switch but after few attempts I have success to do correct homing.

Thank you for your help

Hi,
Home and limit switch handling is all done by Mach. Check the setting in the ports & pins dialogs. The "install & config" button on the MSM reference page will open the mach3 manual wiht info re home and limit switches.
